Chapter 496: Army

Primal Sun God King immediately cast a vast world projection.

His world projection was identical to a real world, with flowers, grass, mountains, and even numerous creatures. There were fish, insects, and animals, all living in peace and harmony.

Li Pin watched this scene with genuine amazement.

In the outside world, the domains and worlds of Legends and Divine Beings were all lifeless, unable to support life.

Even the Astral Gods could only merge with a section of the Astral World to form something resembling a "dojo." This was totally different from a portable world.

Primal Sun God King softly uttered a word. "Suppress."

In the next moment, the God Kingdom descended with full force.

Li Pin instantly felt as though a planet with a thousand-kilometer diameter was pressing down on him, suffocating him.

Unlike the Celestial Force Field, the God Kingdom's power came from space itself, using spatial energy to penetrate everything. Within moments, Li Pin felt overwhelmed.

Just then, he noticed something.

The foundation of the God Kingdom was space power—specifically, the space laws of this world. As long as he disturbed this space power, he could shake or even tear apart the God Kingdom.

With this in mind, Li Pin's control over spatial power erupted. Invisible ripples spread from him, crashing into the God Kingdom's projection, causing a brief delay in its operation.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Pin's figure flashed, and he escaped the God Kingdom's grasp.

"A newly ascended Myth? How could you compare in understanding space power to a God King who can create a God Kingdom with it? Wait a few centuries, master space power fully, then return. As for now..."

Primal Sun God King extended his hand toward Li Pin and clenched it. "Bind!"

Buzz, buzz!

Li Pin felt himself being trapped, unable to move, as if caught in a Celestial Force Field.

Before he could comprehend how this binding differed from the Celestial Force Field's restraint, the spatial power that bound him suddenly became violent.

The Primal Sun God King uttered another word. "Tear."

The spatial power exploded, and a force that seemed capable of destroying everything radiated from him, threatening to obliterate all matter within its reach.

In a panic, Li Pin swiftly moved. He flowed through the tearing space power, with waves of spatial energy surrounding him to resist the force's erosion and pulling.

Despite this, several cuts appeared across his body, as if he had been slashed by sword qi. He left behind trails of blood as he moved, making him look disheveled.

But Li Pin didn't seem to mind his own condition. His eyes gleamed faintly. "This technique... it's a bit like Vacuum Pulverizer? But... it's much simpler than directly shattering atoms. Is it propelled by spatial power?"

He decided to test it.

The Primal Sun God King made no effort to continue his attack. "Seems you've realized the gap between us. Do you still want to continue?"

"Is that it? That's not enough." Li Pin raised his head and gestured with his hand. "Come again."

"Utterly ignorant!"

The Primal Sun God King moved swiftly. His form blurred as the world projection around him compressed and condensed, forming a blast of energy capable of directly interfering with reality.

Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, it felt as if some immense behemoth was streaking through the heavens. At the same time, it also resembled a colossal spacecraft, thousands of kilometers wide, sweeping through the atmosphere.

The deafening roar reverberated across the land, drawing countless gazes from the Divine City's direction.

Faced with such an immense, mountain-flattening force, Li Pin didn't falter. He stepped forward boldly, his fist surging forward. Each punch sent ripples through the air, visible to the naked eye, tearing apart the space before him.

However, the tear lasted less than a kilometer before the world's energy restored the space, preventing the force of the punch from spreading.

Li Pin's punches were clearly incapable of shattering the void, but he continued throwing one punch after the other as if he were blind to that fact.

A second punch, third punch, fifth punch, tenth punch...

As the Primal Sun God King's God Kingdom unleashed a vast and overwhelming force, Li Pin's attacks were crushed and swept away like sand sculptures before a tsunami.

Eventually, the power of the God Kingdom struck Li Pin, about to deliver a blow that would leave him reeling for days, if not weeks. But at that very moment, Li Pin seemed to finally grasp the essence of space.

As the power of the God Kingdom struck him, the void before him suddenly collapsed into spatial turbulence!

No! It was destruction even purer than spatial turbulence! It was as if the space laws in this area had snapped, unable to heal momentarily. Once the space ceased to exist, the God Kingdom, which relied on spatial power, began to disintegrate.

Primal Sun God King's pupils dilated. "How is this possible!?"

His God Kingdom, at this very moment, seemed to have a hole driven through it!

It was like slamming one's entire body weight, with full force, against a nail; no matter how small the nail, its unyielding nature was enough to pierce a bloody hole in his hand.

The Primal Sun God King abruptly twisted the power of his God Kingdom, shifting from a direct strike to a swirling motion that tore through the spatial turbulence. Using his overwhelming advantage in spatial law "quantity," he flung Li Pin away.

It was like a nail that couldn't be broken but could be swept aside with a hand and discarded.

Li Pin, who had just unleashed an attack resembling Vacuum Pulverizer, was sent flying. By the time he reappeared from the void, he had been sent dozens of kilometers away.

"It's still different," Li Pin said.

The law of space wasn't related to atoms.

Li Pin could see through the Primal Sun God King's God Kingdom with his Clairvoyance and temporarily scatter it, but he couldn't completely destroy it. It was like how two waves would clash into each other, disappear for a fleeting instant, and then reform once more.

Just like now. Despite having been shattered, the God Kingdom had quickly repaired itself as the Primal Sun God King manipulated the law of space.

This world is constrained by the worldview of the Astral God Mara. Powers that exceed this worldview, such as inner spirit, cannot be used directly. Powers of a similar nature, like Vacuum Pulverizer, must also be unleashed through the space law... in a way that the Astral God Mara acknowledges,

Li Pin thought.

Many pioneers had cycled through this world dozens or even hundreds of times—equating to thousands of years—but the lifespans of the actual God Kings also started at a thousand years. Their manipulation of space law wasn't much inferior to these pioneers.

Moreover, space is the most powerful force in this world. In God King battles, different techniques are used, but they're just variations of space manipulation.

For example, some can launch their God Kingdom, with a diameter of a thousand kilometers, at a speed of a hundred kilometers per second, while others only manage fifty kilometers.

Naturally, the stronger ones are better... Of course, there are other factors too, like the strength, flexibility, and adaptability of the God Kingdom.

Li Pin understood this thoroughly. No wonder the gap between God Kings and Monarchs was so small. Without a new way of using power, the God Emperors would likely be not much stronger than the God Monarchs.

He glanced at the Primal Sun God King, then vanished into the air with a flash.

The Primal Sun God King sensed his God Kingdom's recovery but did not pursue Li Pin.

When did humanity give birth to such a powerful Myth? Could he be an alien race disguised in human form?

he thought, planning to return and inquire with other human God Kings.

***

In a desolate mountain range thousands of kilometers away from the Divine City, Li Pin stood with a calm expression. "The limits are locked. The experiences gained by those pioneers are quite valuable; it's really difficult to surpass the God King level of power."

Nevertheless, this didn't affect his exploration of his path moving forward or his comprehension of realms.

However, his current comprehension was stuck at the Celestial Force Field level. To advance, he would either have to persist stubbornly, retreat into seclusion, and wait for a sudden flash of enlightenment. Or... he would have to merge the Three Domains.

This had nothing to do with breaking through the Mara Divine Treasure World, but witnessing—or even experiencing—the collision and fusion of the Three Domains would greatly aid his cultivation.

"Trying to take down the Divine City as a God King is difficult, but I remember that this world has something called avatars... Obtaining an avatar is extremely difficult, but since such a thing exists, perhaps..."

Li Pin raised his hand.

In the next moment, with his recovering Clairvoyance, he sensed all the cells and genes in a drop of his blood. As the blood fell, external energy was drawn in, infusing into the blood. The cells inside rapidly divided under the guidance of the genes, visibly splitting.

In the blink of an eye, the drop of blood turned into a pool of blood. Veins and nerves quickly emerged, forming meridians, cells, and bones, until a human figure gradually took shape.

Soon, a figure nearly identical to Li Pin appeared before him. A body forged from flesh and blood, reborn from a drop of blood. This was a unique ability of a Legendary Celestial Martial Artist.

Of course, since the body had just been formed, it was extremely fragile. The harsh environment of the Celestial Barren Domain made it uncomfortable.

"Not bad," Li Pin remarked. "Our inner spirit may have been blocked, but we still belong to the Tier Four Legends. This power is simply locked, not nonexistent. If others use spiritual attacks against us or try to invade our memories, they will be ineffective."

It was like using a supercomputer to play Minesweeper. It's not that the computer lacked processing power for larger games; it's just that... there's only Minesweeper installed.

Li Pin smiled slightly. "Therefore, when I condense an avatar, it's like installing another game. Controlling both won't affect each other."

Since the two were originally one, with a thought, the avatar he had just created quickly began to strengthen itself, and its aura soared.

"A God King is no different from an ordinary Legend. With my foundation in inner spirit, supporting eighty to a hundred God King-level avatars is no problem. I can already accomplish a lot with this power."

This... was like a one-man army.

In the Mara World, where power was constrained by 'rules,' it was incredibly useful.
